Just a tad freaked out

I know I shouldn't be. I know it will be okay. I know that this needs to be done. But somehow... it is still freaking me out that on Monday afternoon the dr will be sticking a long needle into my neck and pulling out tissue. Just a bit.......

Top Chef Bowl

Spoiler alert: If you haven't watched this week's episode you may want to skip.


Camille? She is an all star? She was the only one that I didn't know who she was without being introduced. I barely remember what she did on the show. Wasn't anyone else available?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LMAO! Stephan got beat by the good poop queen! LOL! But you knew he wouldn't be going home. I wasn't surprised that Jeff went home but I thought they might choose Fabio since the meat was over cooked and they liked some of the components of Jeff's dish (Sangria sorbet? sounds yummy!)

Oh yea and oat crusted egg plant does not sound appealing at all and I love eggplant.

Anything else stick out to you?

Chopped!

I was wondering why Ted Allen didn't just step into the role of judge for Top Chef while Gail was away for her wedding/honeymoon. They had been alternating fairly regularly. But... I found out why! He has his own cooking contest show. Have you checked it out yet? It airs on Tuesday nights and I recorded the first one after the fact and then recorded the second yesterday. I watched the first one on Monday and am watching the second today. It is interesting, sort of a blend of iron chef and some other shows. I like the mystery ingredient idea.

In other food contest news--- RESTAURANT WARS is here! Tonight! Catch it today either the first or second showing otherwise it will be cut by 15 minutes. That part is getting a bit annoying but I will forgive them for this episode! Can't wait to see who the teams are and who gets stuck with Stephan!

I am overcome with grief that I have no right to have. I am so very sad for an old friend today. I haven't talked to her in a long time and we reconnected via Facebook. She told me some very sad news and I just am hurting for my friend. It is amazing how the time and distance disappears in an instance.

Glucaphage/Metformin

The pharmacy gave me the metformin ER version of the med. This is the problem... I am afraid to eat. I took my first pill last night and now it is 115pm and all I have had is a small bowl of chunky applesauce. I am afraid to eat anything with much fiber or that might have the wrong kind of carbs. This sucks.

And besides that... when I went to the pharamacy, they would only give me enough pills to get thru January. Something about a new policy and they fill a prescription in two sets now but you only get the pills for the current month. WTF? I need to call around and see if it is only a WG issue or if it is a new federal thing. I would have thought that we would have seen notices about it though regardless. Seems awfully strange to me since my insurance paid for all the pills now. It isn't like it is a narcotic.

I am really hoping that the past few days of below zero temps are it for this winter. I know that is rather optimistic but a girl can wish can't she?
